It was fairly apparent that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was going to have longboats, however the reality you possibly can carry a cat companion crusing with you comes as a really nice shock.
Tonight’s Ubisoft Forward convention included a deep dive into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, showcasing a great deal of new gameplay – together with a take a look at these Viking rap battles we heard about some time again, that are actually as great as they sound.
You can try the stream under. The Valhalla stuff kicks off about two hours and 15 minutes in.
As you possibly can hear from the commentary, you’re capable of carry a literal “cat raider” crusing with you. They don’t do a lot raiding – they primarily simply curl up in a ball on the entrance of the ship, however hey, that’s ethical help. Also they maintain your whole crewmates firm – being at sea may be tiring, so having a feline pal onboard actually makes issues a bit nicer.
If you’re eager to listen to extra about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, try our hands-on impressions, through which we concluded it’s a bit extra Witchery than it’s Assassin’s Creedsy.
Aside from raider cats, we discovered about a few different games throughout Ubisoft Forward too. Watch Dogs Legion bought an official release date and is scheduled to launch on October 29. As a matter of reality, we’ve got a preview of that, too.
Meanwhile, the principle present concluded with the announcement of Far Cry 6. It stars Giancarlo Esposito – who you may know as Gus Fring from Breaking Bad – and you can recruit a sausage dog called Chorizo.
Viking raider cats in Assassin’s Creed and wonderful sausage canines in Far Cry – it appears builders are lastly realizing how essential it’s to have pettable animals in games. Maybe that’s why you can pet the cat in Cyberpunk 2077, and you can pet the fox in Ghost of Tsushima.
